Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention provides a nursing care cavity in which a severely handicapped person who needs nursing care can easily rinse himself or herself after a meal or brushing, even if it is difficult to rinse the mouth by himself. Regarding rinsers.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, it is good for disabled people to be able to rinse themselves with water after eating or brushing their teeth, but if they become severely disabled, their power will be weakened and they will not be able to operate on their own. In addition, if the caregiver's words become incomprehensible, the caregiver will need to help. However, it was very difficult for the caregiver to rinse the mouth of a severely disabled person, which made the work difficult for the disabled person and was a troublesome task.

[0003] That is, when a caregiver puts a finger into the mouth of a disabled person, there is a risk of being bitten, and he / she vomits food that he / she eats. Even if the caregiver scraped out food debris one by one with a cotton swab or the like, small debris remained in the oral cavity, and the work took time and effort. Injecting water into the mouth of a disabled person facilitates the cleaning of small food debris, but if water enters the back of the mouth, there is a problem of swallowing or water entering the trachea.

[0004] If the mouth is not thoroughly washed after three meals, food residue remains, causing bad breath, stomatitis, and dirty mouth, which is a hygiene problem. Many conventional mouth washing devices only inject and drain washing water into the mouth of a disabled person, and most of the rinsing is performed by the disabled person. In addition, since the operation and the price of the oral cleaning device for business use are not common, caregivers with severe disabilities have difficulty in rinsing in the oral cavity, which is a time-consuming and burdensome operation.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and makes it possible to reduce the work load of rinsing both the disabled and the caregiver. Persons with disabilities can cleanse their mouth without having to go to the toilet because they can rinse their mouths, they only need to open their mouths on the bed, and the caregiver can rinse them with a simple device. An object of the present invention is to provide an oral rinse device for nursing care that enables a bedridden elderly person, an infant, and the like to perform a sanitary rinse without any trouble.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The structure of the invention according to claim 1 is that the washing water for washing the mouth of the person is not directly introduced into the mouth from the hose but using a handle that is grasped by hand, and the washing water is introduced into the nozzle having the handle. The nozzle is inserted into a person's mouth while controlling the flow of washing water using the spray button on the top of the handle, and is sprayed toward food debris inside, and is washed with food debris such as food debris from the mouth that opens slightly downward. Water is drained.

[0007] A pump can be used to obtain washing water with water pressure. However, in this embodiment, a water storage container containing washing water is arranged at a height having a head at which a proper water pressure can be obtained. Introduce into the inside of the handle with a source. A spray button is provided on the surface of the handle to control the spray when pressed with the finger of the hand.Washing water sprayed from the tip of the nozzle is sprayed toward the part of the oral cavity that requires a rinse, The injection button can be controlled so that injection is not performed toward the trachea or esophagus outside the oral cavity or inside the oral cavity.

In order to increase the efficiency of rinsing, the invented structure of claim 2 is characterized in that the washing water is used between the inner surface of the cheek and the dentition in the narrow oral cavity, and between the tongue and the dentition in the narrow oral cavity where food residue and the like in the oral cavity are apt to accumulate. A nozzle with a plurality of injection holes provided in the nozzle side direction is used so that injection can be performed between the nozzles. Since the injection hole faces the inside of the oral cavity, the washing water does not enter the trachea or esophagus at the back of the oral cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to discharge not only the washing water but also the inner part of the mouth which is not easily discharged and relatively large food waste, a circular or elliptical convex portion is formed at the tip of the nozzle. And other waste can be scraped out and drained out of the mouth along with the wash water.

[0010] The configuration of the invention according to claim 3 enables a ring-shaped pad formed of soft rubber or fiber to be attached near the tip of the nozzle, so that the mouth can be rinsed safely and hygienically without discomfort. It is designed so that no rinsing work can be performed.

[0011]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the present invention and the state of use. 2 is a perspective view of the present embodiment, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the nozzle of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state where a pad is mounted on the nozzle of FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a water storage device for obtaining water pressure, and washing water 5 is introduced into a handle 3 from a hose 2. A spray button 4 is provided on the surface of the handle so that it can be operated with a fingertip of a person. When the spray button is pressed, cleaning water 5 is sprayed from the nozzle 6 at the tip of the handle to the outside, and when it is returned, it stops. . Although not shown, the injection button mechanism can be a simple mechanism by pressing a hose or the like introduced into the handle. The washing method is as follows. When the handle is grasped by the hand of a person, the nozzle 6 is inserted into the oral cavity 7 of the person, and the spray button 4 is pressed toward the vicinity of the teeth where the food residue 8 is accumulated. Then, it is discharged out of the oral cavity from the mouth 9 with the food waste slightly directed downward, and received in a container placed below. At the tip of the handle, a disk-shaped partition plate 10 is formed to prevent the backflow of the washing water and the sewage discharged from the mouth from adhering to the hand holding the handle.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show the tip of the nozzle 6. Since a plurality of injection holes 12 are provided near the tip of the nozzle in the lateral direction of the nozzle in the form of a thin pipe so as to enter a relatively narrow space between the inner surface of the cheek and the dentition in the oral cavity, It is possible to discharge food dust and the like collected in a narrow place by spraying. Further, a circular or elliptical convex portion 13 is formed at the leading end of the nozzle 6 so that relatively large food debris or the like in a narrow deep oral cavity is moved to and fro the nozzle 6 by moving the nozzle 6 back and forth to the mouth. I am also able to do things.

The pad 15 shown in FIG. 4 is formed into a ring shape with a rubber-like rubber or fiber or the like, and is fitted into the concave portion 16 of the nozzle so as to be removable.

[0015]

[Effect of the invention]

 Effect of Claim 1 The caregiver needs to rinse the mouth of the disabled person from the tip of the nozzle with the wash water instead of injecting the washing water directly into the mouth from the hose and injecting the rinse water from the hose. It is suitable for severely disabled people, because the person with disabilities only needs to keep their mouth open and cleans it by spraying it at a suitable place, and there is no need to perform difficult rinsing on their own. 2. A spray button is provided on the surface of the handle to control the flow of washing water sprayed from the tip of the nozzle with the finger of the hand, so washing can be done with one hand, and the washing water can be moved to the location where food residue has accumulated. Cleaning work such as spraying, stopping, and stopping outside the mouth becomes convenient.

Advantageous Effects of Claim 2 1. Since the nozzle that sprays wash water that can be inserted into the mouth between the buccal surface of the oral cavity and the dentition and into the narrow depth between the tongue and the dentition is used, the rinsing effect is improved. In addition, it is possible to wash places in the oral cavity that are difficult to wash. 2. Since a plurality of washing water injection holes at the tip of the nozzle are directed to the side of the nozzle, washing water can be sprayed inside the cheek and the teeth, up and down, and up and down in the tongue and oral cavity. It is also sprayed in the gap between the two and the dirt is washed out, and the washing efficiency is good. Further, since there is no injection hole toward the tip of the nozzle, washing water does not enter the trachea or esophagus inside the oral cavity. 3. A circular or elliptical projection at the nozzle tip allows the caregiver to scrape out the back of the mouth or relatively large food debris that cannot be easily discharged by spraying only the washing water from the disabled person's mouth. The rinsing is assured.

Advantageous Effects of Claim 3 1. A recess is provided near the tip of the nozzle, and rubber or its foam, brush, or other fiber is attached so that it can be exchanged, so fine dirt can be removed and the caregiver can safely clean the inside of the mouth during cleaning work. Can be performed reliably. If the entire nozzle is covered or molded with rubber or the like, persons with disabilities will feel better with the equipment touched in the oral cavity, there will be no discomfort during the cleaning work, and the caregiver will be able to perform the cleaning work easily, making rinsing safe. You can do it hygienically.
